As far as I know, there is no way to buy digital copies of these yet. The only way I was able to find them was via the fantasy compilations:
Legends I,
Legends II,
Warriors I
Btw, I have no affiliation with Amazon, it was just easy to find on their site.
I almost enjoyed them more than asoiaf because there's there's no shifting POV characters for all 3 "novellas." Everything is always from the POV of Ser Duncan the Tall.
It's the graphic novel of The Hedge Knight that sells for stupid prices.
The actual novella is available in this book or this one. (Kindle edition).
The Sworn Sword is in Legends II. Alternatively, it's in this book which only contains part of the original Legends II anthology.
The Mystery Knight is in Warriors, or in paperback, this volume.
This is discussed pretty much weekly in this subreddit and really ought to be in the sidebar. For anyone from the future who is reading this thread, all the deleted comments are below were links to pirated versions of the books.
They haven't been released individually but rather as parts of short story collections that Martin edits or has some other part in.
No, you're probably seeing the out-of-print graphic novels (EDIT: Which I might add are going to be coming back into print along with a new graphic novel of The Mystery Knight in the near future).
The three novellas can be found in the Legends (contains the first story, The Hedge Knight), Legends II (contains the second story, The Sworn Sword), and Warriors I (contains the third story, The Mystery Knight) anthologies for pretty cheap - I got all three brand new for around thirty bucks.
on the side bar, or for the lazy:
for some reason the link thing isnt working?
They can also be bought here, here, aaanndd here.
Amazon link for all three of the anthologies the stories are contained within. Just scroll down to the "frequently bought together" section.
They don't print any new stand alone copies of the novellas, but they are available in different compilations. Who knows, maybe you'll be turned onto other authors/series.
The Hedge Knight
The Sworn Sword
The Mystery Knight
They're each in a different anthology.
The Hedge Knight
The Sworn Sword
Mystery Knight
Although, they seem to have gone up a considerable amount in price since I bought them.
They are cheap to buy online.
Sword Sword
Mystery Knight
And it's cool because they are only part of the bigger anthology, so if you buy these, you get a whole bunch of cool stories!
No they aren't free. They're short stories among other short stories in three anthology sets.
I don't think they are standalone novels, you have to buy them along with other stories. Here are the 3 parts.

They're kind of hard to come across because well, they're always included in collections. The Mystery Knight is in a collection called Warriors. I've read all the Novellas since the Hedge Knight was originally published in the first Legends collection. Luckily there is a paperback available for Legends 1 but I think it's out of print. Also to be more confusing, the paperback it's contained in is called Legends 2 because it's the second part of the hardcover or something? But Legends II collection is where you get the Sworn Sword. Well here's a handy list though some might not be in stock (PB = Paperback/HC = Hardcover):
The Hedge Knight
The Sworn Sword
The Mystery Knight
For those that are interested or having trouble finding them, these are the anthologies where each individual story is contained.
Why are you reading Spoiler All threads!!!???!!! :-)
Yeah, there are four prequel novellas right now. Unfortunately, they aren't available together - you have to buy them in anthologies that include a bunch of other stuff (although some have standalone graphic novel adaptations). It's enough of a hassle that a lot of people don't bother. Hopefully eventually at least the Tales of Runk & Egg will be published in one volume.
Their titles are:
The Hedge Knight, published in the Legends anthology
The Sworn Sword, published in the Legends II anthology
The Mystery Knight, published in the Warriors anthology
The Princess and the Queen, published in the Dangerous Women anthology

These are what I just bought. The later two are the cheap smaller paperback, but they work.
You can actually buy Legends 1, Legends 2, and Warriors 1 on Amazon which contain the Dunk and Egg stories :) For reference the titles are The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight.
Both Legends have Kindle versions. Hope this helps!
They're not currently released as stand-alones, apart from an illustrated edition, IIRC.
Your best bet to find them is in the collections they were published in:
Here, here, and here (Links taken from the sidebar).
There is both a comic/graphic novel and short stories.
Paperback editions.
the hedge knight for $13.59
The sworn sword for $7.99
the mystery knight for $7.99
Here's the bad news about D&E.. Each book of D&E is in a separate anthology, so you need to buy 3 different books to read them. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most of us download the PDFs with the intention on buying the D&Es when they get released as a single book (which will happen after the 4th story is released).
Here's the books you'd need to buy to read the three released D&E stories:
Legends, Legends 2, and Warriors.
I couldn't find the first one...I think that's the first one.more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Dunk_and_Egg
The UK paperback is already out, but it was split into two volumes. The US paperback was due out in August, but it was delayed until early next year. The only US release so far is the hardcover. I feel like I've seen pics of a one volume paperback ADWD though...
tl;dr - The $35 hardcover that both Amazon and Barnes & Noble have for $21 or the eBook version that both have for $15.
> I'm supposed to wait some 3-4 years after ADWD for the next book? Rough, since I started the series this June.
Yes :( You can try to find the Tales of Dunk & Egg in the anthologies each one comes in (Legends, Legends II, and Warriors). A fourth Dunk & Egg novella is coming out soon, and all four will be released in one volume afterwards.
Some of them were re-released individually as graphic novels, but other than that they're only available as part of collections:
The Hedge Knight - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0765300354/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
The Sworn Sword - http://www.amazon.com/dp/034547578X/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
The Mystery Knight - http://www.amazon.com/dp/0765360268/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
The Hedge Knight in Legends 1 paperback - 13.59 and less
The Sworn Sword in Legends 2 paperback - 7.99
The Mystery Knight in Warriors 1 paperback - 7.99
I have posted these before. Can we get a mod to add these to the sidebar so we can end these questions and people's links to torrents and PDFs. Also, these are available as graphic novels/comics as well, but I think they are pretty limited in quantity and quite expensive.
This may seem unreasonable for a couple of novellas, but they are actually good collections. Some of the stories are really good. If its really too much, they are generally available at your local library.
EDIT: If you really love ASOIAF, please buy these. More money will hopefully encourage GRRM to keep writing!

I have to comment on this, just to stress it further.
I know reading is difficult, so I'll go ahead and relink them here here and here
TL;DR: LINK 1... LINK 2... LINK 3
still TL;DR?! 1... 2... 3
there is a compilation being released with the next tale though, soon (it was sent to the publisher a few months ago) so I'd wait.
When you searched for the novellas did you happen to search by the specific titles (The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight? If you did then I can see why you would think they'd be too expensive. The stories are part of three separate collections of short stories that are pretty cheap. They are Legends, Legends II, and Warriors. You can pick up all three on Amazon for like $30 total.
you might be looking at the graphic novel version of the hedgeknight and thats why its so expensive look them up in the anthology forms and you might have more success:
Legends 1 (contains the Hedgeknight) Legends 2 (contains The Sworn Sword), and Warriors 1 (Contains the Mystery Knight)
Dunk & Egg is entirely told from the point of view of Ser Duncan the Tall, a young knight out for adventure in Westeros, and since they're short stories they're far more action packed than any book of ASoIaF.
The first three Dunk & Egg tales are only available in anthologies.
The Hedge Knight
The Sworn Sword
The Mystery Knight
Combined they would cost more than ADwD, regardless of what format you buy it in. I would definitely recommend reading them at some point (and they provide at least 2 big reveals in ASoIaF), they are not necessary to read before Dance. There will be a second Warriors anthology coming out in the fall/winter I believe, containing the fourth Dunk & Egg story. Shortly after that release all 4 stories will be released in a volume together. That said, there are other great short stories in these anthologies, so you may find it worth it to get them.
You can get short story collections that contain them through Amazon (Here, here, and here), but that'll add up price wise. I think GRRM is putting together an anthology of the Dunk and Egg novels, so you may want to hold off until then.
What are you talking about? The current Amazon prices are $13.59, $7.99, and $7.99, with free shipping if you buy them together. Used is even cheaper.
Also, since you just got it: what link did you use for Sworn Sword? I see this one which has no actual "buy a book from Amazon" option, only Kindle and marketplace, and this one which is only Kindle, or this one which again is only Kindle and marketplace. Is there another one I'm not seeing, or are we limited to (a) overpriced (b) Kindle and (c) graphic novel?
